I stated they pay 3 dollars per referral. That is not true. They pay 10% revenue to you per referral's use. They state they send you approximatly 26 emails a month at 3 dollars an email task. If you were to read, view from those email task they send you at a send of 26 that would equal 78 dollars a month for you. Lets round that off to 80 dollars. Ok. You are making 80 dollars a month from their email tasks. Not bad and much better then making 20 cents a month from some of the paid to read email programs. Now lets say you refer ten people to NitroClicks. Lets also say those ten people do their tasks and earn 80 dollars a month. You will receive ten percent on that 80 they earned. That is 6.40 you would earn from each of the ten. $6.40 x 10 = $64 Now add your 80 and the 64 generated = $144 a month. Not bad. If you and your ten do this for one year....you have added an income of $1,600 dollars a year. But that is on the basis of your completion of each task they send and the completion of each referral doing the task.....if you have more referrals on deeper levels then that is going to add to your income also. This can add up to a lot of money. And I appologize for telling you it was 3 dollars a referral because I was wrong on that. Now lets see this program take off! If you did not receive a welcome email and not sure if you are signed up then try logging in by going thru this link and clicking on "member" Since they are new they are probably still working on the bugs. *****Contents***** Editors Notes GP News Sponsor Ads Feature Article Paid Ads Ezines & Ad Swaps Classifieds Marketing Resources Whats Old Newbie 10 Dollar 20 Ads Across the Net Ask the AdMistress Suggestion Corner Contest Questions --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************** Editors Notes ********************** Hello and Welcome New Subscribers!

Monday August 6, 2001 Jazz (Jon) locks Controversial forum. The whole lock down appears to be in itself controversial to a few. I must say what I found almost funny was some of the very few that indeed enjoyed that forum, were also the ones that had contacted me at various times requesting me to please please go to controversial forum and delete this and edit that and lock that topic and tell him to stop posting to me this way. The whole Controversial Forum did nothing but cause an uproar. Many that posted there were not the ones that had to deal with the uproar! It came to the Moderators email box's day after day and thru our messenging systems. It also found its way to staff at HQ and to Alan and to Jazz and yes even to Mike Gordon!

What is that little (i) in parenthesis? I use the small (i) to constantly remind me of just how small (i) am in the vastness of this universe and our tiny little planet, earth. In the scheme of things I guess we're all pretty...SMALL. Doing Business That Works Hello Future Marketeers: I wish I could say there's a quick fix to the many problems we all face everyday of our lives in the course of doing business. When it comes to being successful in business you must have... A *REAL PRODUCT WITH A *REAL VALUE AND A *STRONG NEED! I just came out of retirement this past March when I joined Going Platinum. After 5 years of laying around and getting fat and being bored out of my skull, I decided for my own good health I better start doing something constructive with all my free time. I am just now getting into online networking and I'm fortunate in having an extensive background in business, sales, marketing, networking and mail order which I worked off and on for over 38 years which makes it a bit easier for me. What I found to work for me is actually quite simple. I'll outline it for you and maybe you can use my format or at least try it out. It has for most of the time worked for me. 1- Finda product you truly believe in and one your very interested in that has real value and people want or need...(Going Platinum surely fits the bill) 2- Lay out your business plan. A- How much money will I need for promotion,software,etc. B- Where will I get the funds,help and find the resources I need to promote my business? (http://www.yaceo.com is a great source for all your business needs. (I'm a little prejudiced) 3- Get organized A- Setup a ...TO-DO-LIST Mine is setup by priority 1 thru 3 with 1 being the most important. I list everything that has to be done on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule. I work on all the 1's first and try to finish up all todo's in good order. 4- Target your prospect list A- Make sure you have a powerful sales letter/ad. This is key and will make or break you. If you have the right product,right price, wide need by the populace and you've targeted your recepients, then there's no reason why you should not be successful. B- Be honest and upfront with your customers and ....ALLWAYS ...treat them with respect and courtesy. 5- ADVERTISE!!! PROMOTE!!!ADVERTISE!!!PROMOTE!!! ADVERTISE!!! PROMOTE!!!ADVERTISE!!!PROMOTE!!! ADVERTISE!!!PROMOTE!!! You can never advertise or promote to much. Advertise your product whenever and wherever you can. Take advantage of all the free ad offers,etc. A- Get a good reliable ads submitter tool for your ads submission. I just started use "SubmitWolf" among others and it looks like it will work out fine. You can download a shareware version for free trial at(http://www.trellian.com/swolf/). It's real easy to use and once you set it up it's very quick. You can also find many ...FREE ...ads submitters on the yaceo site. 6- Build up your mailing list A- NEVER SPAM!!! Last but not least the one thing we all tend to be guilty of is we don't stick to it! We want everything yesterday. The key to success is... work hard and stick with your program.. If you have the product as I describe above and follow my work plan, there is absolutely no way you will fail. Here's the way I work my plan... I work around 7 or 8 programs at any given time and you can find most of them on my website: http://www.yaceo.com You can find practically anything and everything you'll need for building your business at yaceo. When I choose a program to work it must for the most part be simple in operation, FREE and/or LITTLE cost. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION!!! IF YOU DONT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM --DON'T JOIN!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU really don't have to spend a lot of your money on all the seemingly great offers you'll come across in your daily online activities. If you look around and do some searches, most of the time you'll come up with just as good programs and software as the ones requiring your hard earned dough. Don't be a ...SAP and fall prey to them! You know how hard it can be to get your refund! The most important thing to remember is, to not get in to more than you can handle.When your first starting out in this business you tend to get caught up in all the excitement and promise of instant wealth and prosperity. Don't let this hype get to you! Take your time and learn and work one or two main programs that you feel are going to be your main money earners. There will be many times when you will get discouraged and frustrated but this is a common occurence. This happens to all of us, even the seasoned pros! Just get up from your computer and take a break. I sometimes have to take...Many Breaks, which I find can be quite enjoyable! Get a good ..AUTORESPONDER... You can get one at Yaceo, if you haven't already. My main three programs are... Going Platinum, UMS (Ultimate Marketing Solution) and Lifeforce International. The other minor,but not less important programs are my feeders. They work to bolster my three main programs. Mostly they are ad submit programs (advertising submitters for your main programs). Feeders will help provide the needed traffic to your site. By sticking with the work plan, adopting the right attitude and learning to accept disapointements...YOU WILL SURVIVE! Well, that's it for this issue of___"From Where (i) Sit" Keep in touch and good luck in all your endevors. Helping Others Enriches the World Chris Alex Editor:From Where (i) Sit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS. Quite often I come across things that just have to be shared with you that will truly make a huge difference in your marketing endeavors. If you want to be privy to this information please send me your name and email address to: mailto:calex65@hotmail.com and I'll put you on my mailing list.

As far as I am concerned it is one of the BEST sites on the Net. You can place Free ads in the classifieds section. And you can even go back and edit or delete you ad with the ad code you receive. I personally have not taken the time in many months to go over to cmather but it will be well worth your while to do so. If you are searching for a new email account, you may receive a free one there. They have free traffic generators, top sites, free banner exchanges, free webrings, message boards, and a lot more. From my experience in placing ads at cmather in the past, my results were very good! http://www.cmather.com/ http://www.cmather.com/topsites/index.html http://www.cmather.com/freebanner.html http://www.cmather.com/ring.html http://www.cmather.com/forum/index.html ******************* Newbie ******************* Making Money on the Internet 1.) Website Chances are you really need to have your own website in order to make money on the Internet. Sure you can join various programs or a particular program and you may do very well with it. Overall it is a known factor that you must have your own website in order to prosper on the Internet. Do Not make the Mistake that I did when I began on the Internet. I jumped right into marketing and advertising and did not bother to join the newbie clubs (I have still yet to log in to my newbie club site ) I never bothered to visit sites to learn html nor did I play around with the free website creator sites. So now where does that place me? It places me to darn busy now to learn it or play with the free website creators. Oh yep a few times I have played with them and my site looked like something Freddie Kruger put together! Now I find myself learning it when I am faced with it and there is nobody around to help me and it must get completed and there I am ......stuck! YIKES!!!! It is NO FUN to be in that position. Newbies join the newbie club. Practice with learning html and practice creating websites. There are many free websites offered on the Internet that are supposedly easy for most to put together (the exception is me) Believe me you will be very glad you did. Once you have mastered html and website creation you can create a plan of action. By this time you may know exactly what it is you would like your website to be about. Maybe you are simply involved with a Company such as GP. If nothing else comes to mind a great site to be created would be displaying information about your GP website and possibly links to advertising and classifieds sites. There is always something one can create a website about. You will be ready to move from the little free sites to finding a server that suites your needs. Do not put off untill tomorrow what you can do today. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a big headache later. ************************* 10 Dollars 20 Ads ************************* The best Global Internet Business Opportunity.

Short and very EASY to recall is KEY in your Ad Copy PERFORMANCE. Consider this your 12 Step Advertising List to Success. These are the twelve basics to advertising. Be sure to remember them. Go over them frequently and use them often. It will make a HUGE difference in the performance of YOUR business. Use it as a checklist when you write your ad copy. Evaluate from this list. 1.Test your ad copy. 2. Use powerful, catchy, CAP Headlines. 3. Write short words, short sentences, SHORT paragraphs and always BE very specific. DO NOT generalize. 4. Be unique. Never use "HERD" ads. 5. Do use pronouns and lots of adverbs and adjectives. Describe with passion 6. Accentuate your Benefits more than your Features. (I taught you the difference between the two. Refer to previous columns and be sure that you have these 2 distinguished) 7. Always use testimonials in your longer ad copy. ( 5 short ones are better than 3 long ones) 8. Offer Limited Time Sensitive Bonuses. FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY ! 9. Have an Iron Clad Guarantee...ALL the time. 10. Make it EASY for the customer to order. 11. Try to use a slogan to brand yourself. 12. In sales letters, ALWAYS use a PS Create advertising materials and review them again and again. Refine them and always remind yourself that they are NEVER finished. Test and revise. Test and revise. The name of the game in advertising is test and PROVE ad copy. The REAL Winner in the end will always be the one who has tested their advertising and revised it with the utmost care. =========================================== Clue #20: Never pitch your old ads that proved worthy of your time - REVISE THEM !! =========================================== Circular Marketing Column Supporting Ezines: For More Information on HOW YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE to these GREAT Ezines Click this link ... circularezines@atbizopps.com 1.

Is there something that you do not like about it or something you would like to see that is not included? Send it in and If I use your idea, you will receive a free solo ad.* ++++ You know something I haven't seen in any of the ezines I subscribe to is something like you just had, where you list some programs and rate them on a 1-10 scale. But let your subscribers who are involved cast their votes too. Even add a short comment if they choose. Call it your hype-meter. Maybe say you'll accept the first 50, but if you rate a program you get top placement or something like that. Do some big programs, some traffic generators, some read email ones, different categories. Just thought it would be different. Tom That is a Great Idea that Tom has given me. I love it! As I told Tom, I do sort of do that from time to time.......I have a tendency to rate programs. I am working on Tom's idea and seeing how that I can fit it into this ezine. And I really like the name "Hype-Meter" Thanks Tom +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a member of the Ezine Publishers Association!
